EASTER SUNDAY


This is the week I usually do a political rant. Trump is still ugly, but he got ISIS attention. Korea hopefully has taken a step back to reconsider their threats. He does one thing right then does dumb over and over. That bomb could have done a lot of good for us, but then Trump's ego got in the way.

I decided on a joke, but couldn't find one. One thing I hope isn't a joke, it looks like my 5th great grandchild is going to be a girl. Finally, hopefully. If it's another boy, well, it's another player on the family football team, but I sure hope this one is a cheer-leader.

Kathy, my dear friend of over sixty years came through, she sent me the ideal message for Easter. Enjoy.

Jesus once said that even a simple act of kindness is never forgotten.  He also said that those failing to exercise kindness will also be remembered …... 

 

You can never do an act of kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will become too late. 

 

Time is free, but it is priceless.  You can't own it, but you can use it.  You can't keep it, but you can spend it.  Once you've lost it, you can never get it back.  Be sure that those you love are made aware of that fact -- daily.  One day soon you may not be able to remind them .... ever again.

 

In the final analysis, the only thing humans have of value is time itself.  As the Creator, God already owns all things, so time is the only thing of value we can offer to Him, serving wherever and however He sees fit. 

 

The majority of God's servants will live out their lives serving quietly, unnoticed in the background, because everything He has made has a purpose, a reason for existing. 

 

Don't think too much.  You'll create a problem that wasn't even there in the first place, along with an awful headache.

 

Before a man speaks it is always safe to assume that he is a fool.  After he speaks, it is seldom necessary to assume it.

 

Nothing will work unless you do.

 

Thank God tears are colorless.  If they were different colors for different feelings, our pillows would reveal the private thoughts of our hearts during the night.  

 

Success is how high you bounce after you hit bottom.

 

Never demand perfection of imperfect people, because there are none on earth at this time, and you are guaranteed to become disappointed with them.   

 

Humans are creatures quickly impressed by mere appearances, forming quick opinions of other people or things they do not understand.   Undoubtedly this is why Satan's efforts to lead people away from the Truth involves something or someone appealing to the power of the eye. 

 

Warning: Going to sleep on Sunday will cause Monday.

 

If a man has done his best, what else is there?

 

In prayer, it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

 

Remember that the most valuable antiques are old friends.

 

Too many professed Christians today are no longer fishers of men but content with being keepers of the aquarium.

 

For all his sophistication, man owes his existence to 4 inches of topsoil and the fact that God makes it rain.

 

I am not afraid of storms, I am doing my best to learn how to 'sail my ship'...  

 

Over my shoulder, one last backward glance: Success during this life is like the words to the song, `I will sail my vessel till the river runs dry'.
